The
United States has condemned the recent attacks in Nigeria, saying the raids on
villages in northeast on August 28,in which many people were killed, was
callous and unacceptable.
A press
statement by US Department of States' spokesperson, John Kirby, said: "We
extend our sympathies to the families and loved ones of the civilians who were
killed and injured. These recent raids are just additional examples of
the horrific and indiscriminate violence that Boko Haram continues to use to
terrorise civilians in northeast Nigeria and the Lake Chad Basin region".
While
sympathising with the families of the bereaved, he stated: "The latest is
one of many attacks, kidnapping, raids and other acts of indiscriminate
violence that continue on a frequent basis in Nigeria, Chad, Niger, and
Cameroon".
The
statement added that the United States will continue to support the governments
and people of the Lake Chad Basin region in their ongoing struggle to degrade
and defeat Boko Haram.
